'How many times will you approve Ibom Deep Seaport' - NDC blasts Tinubu over 'endless lies'

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has expressed frustration over President Bola Tinubu's numerous approvals of the Ibom Deep Seaport project. In a statement, the party's spokesman, Osa Director, questioned how many times Tinubu's administration has approved the project without any progress on the ground. The NDC argues that the repeated approvals, made to different governments, are nothing more than empty promises to voters.

The spokesman stated that the people of Akwa Ibom State have heard the same promises repeatedly, only for the project to be forgotten after each announcement. The NDC contends that the continuous approvals are a tactic used to manipulate voters during election cycles. They urge the Federal Government to stop making empty promises and instead begin construction on the project, which could significantly boost the regional economy by creating jobs.

The NDC spokesperson emphasized that the people of Akwa Ibom are tired of hearing about the project without seeing any tangible results. They called for clear timelines on when work will start and finish. If the government is serious about the project, they should provide a definite start and completion date. The NDC promised to continue advocating for Nigerians who are frustrated by the endless cycle of promises without delivery.
